It's important in the touring business to know about the weather temperatures in the different states. You'd lose business if you sent someone on a cool summer vacation only to discover that it's not cool in Florida in the middle of July. So your first individual task is to find the current temperature for each of the capital cities of the southeast region. This information must be collected and entered into a spreadsheet. Be sure to label each one. When you have entered all the data then find out what the average temperature would be for the southeast region. Be sure to title the spreadsheet and make it as easy to read for our customers.

Here are some resources to help you find your data:
